On the plus side you can scan url's if you're dealing with newer records. I guess it's nice to play with but doesn't replace the website at all.

PSA to rap fans: Big L-LIFESTYLEZ OV DA POOR & DANGEROUS was repressed recently. Stumbled on it while browsing through my local (hip-hop themed/organized by region instead of genre/ it's awesome) store and snagged it immediately.

I'll jump in on this since I actually can now.





If anyone's ever in New Orleans, Euclid and Sisters In Christ are really great stores to buy poo poo from, especially the latter. Prices are mad low because the people believe in selling in volume or something like that. They don't have too much outside of post-punk and metal, but those Fielded and Mountain Goats albums were inexplicably purchased there.

I'm still holding out on finding Scott, Scott 2 and The Drift at a decent price. I'd also like an explanation as to why Cop is always expensive.

An aside: That James White and the Blacks album is laughably terrible and now I know why it was only $4.

This is from way back, but this is both true and frustratingly false at the same time. If you have particular taste, almost everything that you like is expensive on vinyl. I can't find a (good) Current 93 album for less than $60-100. Even poo poo that not many people raved about like The Caretaker's "An Empty Bliss Beyond This World" is selling for over $200 today.

But you can buy Thick as a Brick for pennies right now, so give and take.

Tilt is old, if you can call it that. 3 and 4 are 4 Men reissues. I've got really bum luck with finding older pressings of Scott's stuff. There's an original of Scott 2 with that cool artwork hovering around Ebay for $30 but I have a hard time justifying buying it since I'd only buy that particular album for completionist purposes.

Original pressings are hard to find in general. I've never seen any in the wild.

The chronicle of Scott Walker's descent into madness involves hard, seemingly useless purchases. Saying that, I was almost a little disappointed that Climate of Hunter was hard to come across in the wild. I respect it in the sense that it was probably the most offputting releases of his that didn't feel like a bad decision to make and/or listen to, a la Bisch Bosch and Soused.

It must be this way. More than a handful of albums I'd die to have cost more than my rent, and I live in an area where digging through the free/dollar bins is a fool's errand. Other than that one Redd Foxx album I found once.

The first pressing of Kreng's "Grimoire" had 100 less copies than &&&&& and sells for no more than $40 today. Apples and oranges, but Grimoire's a cooler album too. &&&&& wouldn't be that expensive without Arca eventually being involved with Kanye, especially considering how weak his output has been lately.

I'm seeing them on Monday. Do they have a bunch of their records for sale? I remember when MPP came out and pretty much sold out immediately. I still haven't got a copy of it. There weren't any copies of Painting With either at the two records I went to when it came out.

No MPP at all (in the set list either except for Daily Routine) but they had Feels, Fall Be Kind, CHz and Painting With...

Does anyone else go through their collection after a while and weed out non-essentials and sell them? I've done this twice this year and probably got rid of 30 something records that I liked but don't love or just sort of impulse bought.

Precisely what I was thinking.

Among split inse, sleeves that don't fit into the jacket, ring-wear, any dumb cosmetic or "functional" issue I have with records billowy 2xLP jackets are by far the most annoying thing to me and this is the worst example I've encountered. This is a very relaxed grip on the jacket. Does anyone know how this can be fixed/reduced? Truly unsightly.

Looks like just a lovely repress, or maybe it got warped in the back of a tour van. It might help if you don't keep the records inside the sleeve.

More reasons to think RSD is dispicable.

Although, they're just the first to exploit Bowie's death in a big way. If it weren't for RSD, it'd be for something else.

It's just a really scummy seeming act. I doubt "RSD' requisitoned the picture discs, but I can imagine they were slapped together real quick, had some dude graphic design up some unique but iconic Bowie pop-art and press these juust in time for RSD season. Plus, are really any of these records too hard to find among their pressings?

Again, bound to happen eventually, but my favorite physical musical memorabilia enemy made the first move so I'm taking my HAHAs when I can get them. But I was under the impression there were more than just these two so maybe not so bad.
